Learning about English literature will acquaint the students with the history of the English speaking world and force them to think deeply. English Literature tells us the history of the English speaking nations. It also teaches us many lessons that have universal themes, such as love, war, desire and many more. When we read literature, we become sophisticated in our thinking and our view of the world expands. Studying English Literature makes us better citizens. We can form opinions and convictions of our own and the reading of English Literature can aid us in the process.
